Abstract: The next space missions require power levels that current space qualified semiconductor technology cannot provide. The silicon carbide devices are considered to overcome these challenges, and provide the required technical performance. European space industry is asked in individual meetings about their specific needs and requirements, this information is gathered, classified and presented to the silicon carbide manufacturers. This work is the connection between the two industries to better understand the requirements and applications, and build a new business case for the SiC devices in space applications.
